Library is the best draw engine card in Heart of Crown. The first time you play it each turn, every subsequent action card you play draws an extra card — exponentially increasing your hand size.
How the Effect Works
Play Library (1st play this turn)
→ "Draw 1 per action played" activates
→ Play Alchemist: Draw 2 (Alchemist) + Draw 1 (Library trigger) = Draw 3 total
→ Play next action: Draw 1 more
→ ...continues through every action this turn
With 2 Libraries, the second Library's play also triggers the first Library → 2 cards drawn per action after both are on the field.
